Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 160

In the end, the Divine Dragon Empress agreed with the proposal made by the Divine Dragon Imperial Seal.

However, she didn’t immediately go to find Ye Wushuang. Instead, she decided to wait until the next day to seek him out.

Ye Wushuang, of course, was unaware of this.

At that moment, he was still instructing Liu Shengsheng.

He had Liu Shengsheng demonstrate his swordsmanship, then said with a furrowed brow:

“Your progress in this sword technique is a bit slow!!”

“Ah? Brother Wushuang, you know about my sword technique?”

“Hmm… Your Imperial Sister mentioned your sword technique to me and asked me to instruct you properly in it!!”

The Divine Dragon Empress had never actually said any such thing to Ye Wushuang.

As for Liu Shengsheng’s swordsmanship, it was entirely something Ye Wushuang had personally taught him in the first place. How could he not know about it?

Hearing Ye Wushuang’s words, Liu Shengsheng’s face was filled with gratitude.

He hadn’t realized his Imperial Sister cared for him so much.

This also made him feel a bit ashamed, as he felt he had somewhat deceived the Empress.

After all, this time he had brought Yu Meiren along to practice swordsmanship, so it couldn’t really be counted as solely seeking an opportunity for his own cultivation.

“With your current rate of progress, I’m afraid it will be very difficult for you to become a peerless Sword Immortal.”

“Your teacher’s swordsmanship is mediocre. I doubt she can help you become a peerless Sword Immortal. Why not change teachers?”

“Change teachers?”

Liu Shengsheng was visibly taken aback by Ye Wushuang’s suggestion.

But thinking of Yu Meiren’s beauty, he shook his head firmly.

“No, that won’t do. My teacher has been very good to me. How could I change teachers?”

“No, absolutely not!!”

A different teacher wouldn’t be as beautiful as Yu Meiren, so Liu Shengsheng was adamantly against it.

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang opened his mouth to say something but ultimately remained silent.

He felt Yu Meiren had ulterior motives and might negatively influence Liu Shengsheng.

However, he couldn’t very well say what those motives were. He couldn’t just say, ‘Your teacher Yu Meiren tried to seduce me!’

Therefore, after Liu Shengsheng refused, Ye Wushuang didn’t press the matter and continued teaching swordsmanship.

Ye Wushuang’s instruction picked up from where he had left off last time.

This time, he taught Liu Shengsheng the technique of merging fifty different sword techniques.

Throughout the process, Ye Wushuang meticulously explained each sword technique, then detailed the method of merging the fifty techniques.

Finally, he also gave Liu Shengsheng a thorough lesson on the Grass Character Sword Art.

This was a technique Liu Shengsheng had practiced before, but he hadn’t achieved much proficiency in it previously.

This detailed explanation from Ye Wushuang gave him a much deeper understanding of the Grass Character Sword Art.

Because of this, Liu Shengsheng learned with rapt attention, completely absorbed.

This feeling seamlessly connected with the sensation he had when the Divine Dragon Empress taught him last time.

However, after finishing his learning session, he felt something was off.

This time, the one instructing him wasn’t the Divine Dragon Empress, but Ye Wushuang.

These were two completely different people. How could they impart knowledge with the same feeling?

This puzzled Liu Shengsheng greatly.

Just as he was about to ask Ye Wushuang about it, the Divine Dragon Empress suddenly appeared.

It turned out Liu Shengsheng had been practicing for over a day. Yu Meiren had already left, and the Empress had arrived.

“Imperial Sister, you’re here!!”

“Mmm. How is your learning coming along?”

“Ah! Brother Wushuang’s skill level is incredibly high, practically identical to Imperial Sister’s! I feel my cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds!!”

“Hmm… cough cough! Good, as long as you’re making progress. Since you are, go back and practice diligently. Don’t let your talent go to waste, and don’t betray the dream in your heart!!”

“Yes!! Imperial Sister!!”

Hearing the word ‘dream,’ Liu Shengsheng felt a surge of passion.

He was a man with a dream. He wanted to become an invincible Sword Immortal.

Therefore, he should strive hard for himself.

Thus, filled with his dream, he left Ye Wushuang’s palace.

The Empress’s arrival also greatly surprised Ye Wushuang.

“Greetings, Your Majesty. Has Your Majesty come bearing good news?”

“Hmm… Good news, not quite. Transporting those resources will still take a few days.”

“I’ve actually come this time to seek your guidance on cultivation techniques.”

“Seek my guidance on techniques??”

Ye Wushuang was very surprised to hear this.

Although Ye Wushuang had created several techniques, the Divine Dragon Empress had never sought his guidance on them before.

After all, the techniques the Empress herself cultivated were already exceptionally powerful.

So, it seemed unlikely the Empress would need Ye Wushuang’s instruction.

Yet here she was today, which made Ye Wushuang feel the timing was a bit too coincidental, everyone coming at once.

However, since the Empress herself had come, Ye Wushuang didn’t dare say much.

“What technique does Your Majesty wish to learn from me?”

“Myriad Swords Return to Origin, the Eight-Nine Heavenly Art, the Undying Heavenly Art, the Grass Character Sword Art, the Character Secret ‘All,’ and so on. These are all techniques you mastered in my name. Now, I don’t know any of them. You must fill in this pit you dug for me!”

“Otherwise, we could be in serious trouble!!”

“Ah! Those… Yes, of course, of course!!”

If it were other techniques, Ye Wushuang might have had to consider whether he knew them well enough to teach the Empress.

But upon hearing the list, Ye Wushuang could only smile wryly.

Because those techniques were indeed the ones he had mastered under the Empress’s name.

The problem was, the Empress herself didn’t know them, which meant she could easily be exposed at any moment.

Therefore, the best solution was for the Empress to master these techniques and plug the loopholes.

So, the Empress coming to him was completely the right choice.

Nevertheless, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but muse to himself.

“Before, I thought the reason I mastered those techniques so smoothly was because of Her Majesty’s outstanding, peerless talent.”

“Now it seems the peerless talent was actually my own all along. I managed to learn all those things because of my own aptitude!!”

It was only then that Ye Wushuang realized his mastery of those techniques had little to do with the Divine Dragon Empress.

However, this also presented him with a challenge.

Teaching the Empress these powerful techniques would be a monumental task.

After all, each and every one of those techniques was a top-tier method.

For an ordinary person, they might spend a lifetime mastering just one.

To master so many required exceptional talent.

“Her Majesty is highly intelligent and talented. She even mastered the legendary Ancestral Dragon Scripture. Learning these techniques shouldn’t be a problem.”

“So, as long as I put in the effort, I can definitely teach the Divine Dragon Empress quickly!”

At that moment, Ye Wushuang’s thoughts were still quite optimistic.
